Abstract
We evaluated 214 fetuses sent for autopsy with gestational ages
ranging from 12 to 39 weeks. Of these, seventeen fetuses (7.9%)
had single umbilical artery. Thirteen of these fetuses were aborted
after antenatal detection of severe malformations and 4 died in
utero. Genito-urinary system (n=6) and central nervous system
(n=4) were the most common sites of involvement. Presence of
single umbilical artery warrants a detailed evaluation of the fetus
for other anomalies.
